Thanks for educating me about the Ignore List. I've added ItalianKid and TechStud and things looks better now. Their "contributions" to the discussion seem very childish to me and my time is too valuable to spend it reading their words.
You are welcome. Now if we could just figure a way to ignore comments which quote people on the ignore list...
OT: It would be interesting to see how those so-called "iPhone killers" fare in the meantime, and how much of RIM's market share gain is contributed through the buy-one-get-one campaign. Something that worth noting is that China is still missing from the global market for iPhone, while many of the others are already competing there. Jail-break iPhone costs much substantially more than it is in other countries and it doesn't stop Chinese from buying it. What will happen to Apple's global market share when iPhone eventually enters China?
I hope it would... Last year at the same time, the United States only sold the iPhone. It should have more than doubled! The fact that the iPhone is in over 40+ countries and it only doubled is very BAD news.
The iPhone is only HOT when released and dies down very fast as the months pass.
The iPhone sells very well on launch and dies from there.
The iPhone and the iPhone 3G are perfect examples. Same thing will happen with the next release. Guaranteed.
This is not good for Apple. The device needs to sell well throughout the year. It doesn't.
Ah, so the real reason for Apple's Mac sales decline has been revealed. People are bypassing desktop and laptops altogether and opting for an iPhone. Nice!
Smartphone marketshare is such an irrelevant metric these days, it's impossible to draw any conclusions from it. The line between smartphone and feature phone is so incredibly blurred these days and will only get more blurred as hardware costs fall further.
For example, now that Symbian OS is effectively free, what's to stop Nokia shoving it in 50% of their phones? Suddenly Nokia's smartphone sales go from 15 million to 200 million and therefore propelling Nokia up to 90%+ market share. Will Nokia have sold any more phones overall or made any additional profit? Probably not but the smartphone metrics would show them utterly destroying Apple. The metric is worthless.
teckstud is your other account. It's kind of funny when you talk to yourself and think that none of us know.
Seriously though, it would be nice if AppleInsider let us stay logged in for longer, like a day or so.
Trolls like teckstud and italiankid are getting to be a big problem. On this thread, almost all the posts are theirs, but the content of the posts is essentially zero. I have both of them on my ignore list, but every time I come back to the site to check the threads, I'm logged out and all their posts are there to be viewed.
I know it's up to me to ignore them or not read them, but that's the purpose of the "ignore posts" feature isn't it? Why not let us stay logged in all day so that we can more easily ignore the bait these idiots set out?
It's very difficult to switch over to this site to see what's happening, be confronted by dozens of inflammatory posts and yet have the strength not to answer them. Anyone who has dealt with teenagers for any length of time knows how hard it is to ignore them and how difficult it is not to get caught up in their stupid games etc.
Kasper, give us a break and let us put these guys on ignore for longer than a few minutes at a time. I don't see the downside in letting people stay logged in all day instead of pushing us off if we go away for more than a few minutes.

hahaha I am sure there are more than 1 or 2 people who can voice an opinion on Apple. Negative or Positive.
I dont know teckstud personally, but after reading many of his post today, I am loving him. lol

Hmm... Virgil-TB2, I stay logged in. Haven't put my password in in ages. Even after upgrading to Safari 4 beta, it remembered my login. I dunno. Could it be a difference in browsers?
update: I found this in the board FAQ: " When you register, you will be given the option to 'Automatically login when you return to the site'. " It sets a cookie. Perhaps you didn't set that when registered (and I assume that I did which would be why I don't have to log in?), and now it's necessary to figure out a way to use this cookie? I can't find any cookie settings in the User Control Panel.

Dude- you need to stop. You're freaking me out! Who is italiankid?
Kasper I have know idea what this guy is talking about. I've been on topic.
Comments
Seriously, I'm begging.
I'm very sorry that I've used one of my very infrequent comments to discuss an off-topic matter like this. I'll stop talking now.
That's hysterical. You are really either out of your mind or off your meds. Blocking anybody that disagrees with Apple? Pathetic.
I think something is wrong with that italiankid troll bot. It's starting to randomly respond to its own posts.
lol
i didnt even notice that lol
im busy at work and trying to do the post... work first. post after... ciao
LOL look how the page shrinks with all his posts omitted.
Except now he's highlighted in blue for a quick fix.
There's something oddly satisfying about seeing those multiple posts just listed like shrapnel, without having to pay any mind.
I've long had him on my ignore list, but apparently mentioning teckstud's name summons him like an evil genie.

Stud we best becareful... I think these Mac heads are gonna commit suicide if we continue... LOL
Sad... lol
Seriously, I'm begging.
... Ask yourself: is there anything at all to be gained from responding to anything <redacted> has ever posted? Or <redacted>?
The very question I asked myself a while ago. Survey says...
I've long had him on my ignore list, but apparently mentioning <redacted>'s name summons him like an evil genie.
( Following addabox's suggestion to avoid further summons.

Perfect examples of what?
That the iPhone sells very well on launch and then "dies down"?
Since each was only released once, you do realize they are the ONLY examples?
Or can you give us other examples of the iPhone?
Your signature has iPhone 2G/3G
